Ripple is hosting its largest Swell conference yet in New York from October 27–29, expecting over 1,500 attendees and featuring 100+ speakers including executives from CME, BNY, Robinhood, and others. The event will focus on institutional blockchain infrastructure, XRP Ledger developments, and RLUSD adoption, with over 80 sessions covering tokenized assets, stablecoins, and crypto markets. Ripple is also integrating Swell with XRPL Apex and UBRI Connect to unite financial, blockchain, and academic sectors. Key discussions will include Ripple's partnership with DriveWealth and the expansion of RLUSD-powered financing, highlighting Ripple's growing role in bridging traditional finance and digital assets. However, increased institutional use of Ripple's tech does not necessarily mean higher XRP demand, as many applications use RLUSD or tokenized securities.
